SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 282,595, dated August 7, 1883.

Application filed June 12, 1883. (No model.) i

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN N. \VILSON, of

Carthage, in the county of Jasper and State of lWIissouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vlfriters Hand-Beliefs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form apart of this specification.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device in use; Fig. 2, a perspective of the device; Figs. 3 and 4, modifications.

This invention relates to a new and improved device for supporting a pen or pencil while in use; and it consists in the construction herehold of the thumb and finger. Between the two the strip is provided with a socket, d. This socket is made by bending the strip at e e and curving it between these two bends, as shown at f, forming the depression or socket d; or the socket may be made by affixing two curved points either upward or downward on the strip.

This device is used by hooking the end?) over the forefinger and the end 0 under the thumb, the socket cl thus coming between the thumb and finger. The pen or pencil is placed in the socket, the elasticity of the material holding it firmly and securely, so that it can be used as usual without being forced from the socket.

Having described my invention, what I claim As a means of holding a pen or pencil for use, the strip a, having the curves b and c and Socket (1, as set forth.

In testimony that I claimthe foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
